THE LOCATION
Hannafore occupies a prime position in Looe, offering a tranquil retreat from the bustle of this popular coastal town while remaining just moments from all its amenities. A short walk takes you to both East and West Looe, home to sandy beaches, lively bars, well-regarded restaurants, and a vibrant mix of independent shops.
The area is ideal for those who enjoy an active lifestyle, with nearby tennis courts, a swimming pool, a health club, and scenic coastal footpaths that stretch eastward to Downderry and westward to Talland Bay, Polperro, and beyond. Hannafore itself is home to the local bowling club and enjoys easy access to the South West Coast Path, making it a favourite for walkers and nature lovers.
Looe remains a working fishing port, with trawlers landing fresh catch daily—a hallmark of its charm and character. The picturesque harbour, linked by a historic bridge between East and West Looe, is a magnet for visiting yachts and pleasure craft, offering both visiting berths and permanent moorings.
The town also boasts two main beaches: Hannafore Beach on the West Looe side, perfect for rock pooling and crabbing, and the main sandy beach in East Looe, popular for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Both beaches are served by local cafés, ideal for refreshments with a sea view.
East Looe offers a wide range of amenities, including convenience stores, a doctor’s surgery, pharmacies, hairdressers, and an excellent selection of shops, bars, cafés, and restaurants. West Looe, while quieter, has its own charm with traditional pubs, great local eateries, and two village-style grocers in West Looe Square.
For those with a love of the water, East Looe is home to Looe Sailing Club and the Looe Gig Club, offering dinghy sailing and rowing opportunities. Just three miles inland at Bindown, Looe Golf Club features a scenic course providing another excellent leisure option close by.
